Thanks for the reply!

So I tried to copy all my edits over and it still has an issue with the HD file. I started a new sequence and only imported the Matrix HD file to it, then tried to open it in the viewer window, Then I got the same two error messages.

I use to work off my External hard drive but soon learned that, that would severely decrease the life of it. So although I use it to transfer files, I always drop the files on the computer and work off the computer. Now my iMac is a 600 gb hard drive, and I have about 250 gb free space. Do you think that would be sufficient?

As a general rule now, I also learned that renaming and organization was really important so I too name my project file as soon as I make it. Although inside the file I don’t rename the sequences until I get more than on that is.

And just to make sure i’m not going crazy, today when I was in a different class, I pulled open the project file on a different computer. And it worked perfectly. No reconnection issues or anything. I also have tried to open the file on my computer and work off my External, just to give it a shot. Its a 500 gb firewire/usb external with 280 gb free space and that didn’t work either. I’m begining to think its my RAM? But I’ve cleared a lot of routine things to free that up (I.E. Trash bin, cache, cookies, preferences, disk repair permission) Is there anything i’m missing?

Thanks again
